Chapter 8
-----------------------
Virgil managed to get home without incident. When he finally got there, he unlocked the door and went inside. He went straight up to his room, and collapsed on his bed, exhausted.
He woke up the next day to the sun shining in his face, it felt warm, but it was also bright, preventing any more sleep. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, he finally got up, his head spinning. Then he remembered the other night. He looked at the clock on the wall, it was 11.00 am. He had only one hour before he had to meet Nicole. He could hear the TV downstairs, so his dad must already be up.
Virgil went into the bathroom opposite his room and took a shower. He locked the door, undressed, and took a look in the mirror. "At least everything is still where it's supposed to be."
He was about halfway through the shower when the water seemed to be turning black. "What is happening to me now?" Then he remembered. "THE DYE!" He dived out of the shower, and looked in the misty mirror. The dye was running down his face leaving black-watery marks behind. "How the hell am I gonna hide this from him?" He wrapped a towel around him and went into his room, locking the door behind him.
He didn't have any dye, so the only thing he could use was an old cap. Luckily his hair was short enough to be completely concealed. He put on a pair of black jeans, a short black top, (he had an almost endless supply of them) and the amulet he was given yesterday. He slowly headed downstairs.
He reached the bottom of the stairs, and saw his father sitting and watching TV. He tried to sneak past, but he caught him.
"Hi Virgil. Where are you off to?" He said, turning around.
"Just off to Paul's." He said back, nervously.
"Not wearing your new jacket?"
"No, its 90 degrees out there, dad. I have to get going." He said, hoping that he wouldn't be stopped again.
"Virgil wait." He got up and walked over to him.
"Oh god. Please just let me go already!" He thought to himself.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't be around for your birthday. Ill make it up to you someday." He's heard that one before. Dante looked at his cap. "What ya wearing this for? I thought you said it was hot outside."
"…Er, it is. But I'm kinda having a bad hair day."
"Umm, OK. I'll see you a bit later."
"See ya." Virgil finally made it out of the door and let out a sigh of relief. He hoped his dad bought the story he gave.
Unfortunately for him, he didn't.
-----------------------
Virgil was walking into the woods, his feet crunching on the leaf-covered ground. It was still summer, but autumn was not long off. The birds seemed to stop chirping as soon as he entered which was kind of weird.
Suddenly he heard a shout, "Look out!" and he jumped back in time to see a backpack come smashing down into the ground in front of him.
"Sorry, Virgil." He heard a voice coming about 30 feet above him. "I think the strap broke."
"Nicole? What the hell are ya doing up there?"
"What does it look like? I'm CLIMBING."
"But why?"
"Because I got bored waiting for you."
"Well, I'm here now, so come down." He picked up her backpack. "JESUS! What do you have in here? Boulders?" he opened one of the zippers on the side of the backpack.
"Virgil, wait! Don't open . . ." Too late. Virgil was greeted by the sight of a silver cross. He picked it up. "You have a cross. In your backpack?" He looked inside again. There was a small bottle inside with a little gold cross on it. "Holy water? Nicole, what is the meaning of this? Did you rob a church or something?"
Nicole had just jumped out of the tree.
"It's just there for an experiment."
"Experiment? What experiment? I'm not a lab rat you know."
"Yea, I know. I just thought we should test to see what weaknesses you have, if any. Well, your not burning up and the cross does nothing to you."
"I'm not a vampire Nicole, I'm a…"
"Half demon, half human hybrid?"
"Yea, one of those."
"Here, hold out your hand. I want to see what this does." She took the bottle of holy water and opened it. Virgil opened out his hand and she poured the entire bottle. Virgil immediately withdrew his hand.
"Did it hurt?"
"No. It's freezing cold."
"Oh, sorry. I must have put it next to the chilled drinks." She said, a small smile forming on her face.
"So, what now?"
"Try…" She looked around. "To move that boulder over there." She pointed at a big rock about the size of a car. Virgil walked up to it and pushed as hard as he could.
Nothing.
He tried again.
Nothing. He tried several more times. This just wasn't working.
"What's the matter Virgil?"
"It's not working." He said, out of breath. He was very frustrated by this point.
"Come one, lets get a drink. You can try later."
Virgil gave up and walked to where the backpack was, just before he got there, he tripped up over a tree root. This was not his day.
"Fucking root…" He kicked the owner of the root as hard as he could, causing the tree to tremor. A flock of birds flew away and the ground shook a little. A cracking sound could be heard.
CRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrUNCH! The 90-ft tree fell over, it's roots sticking up out of the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise above the trees. Virgil just starred.
"So, think you can fly yet?" Said Nicole.
"Not in this world." A voice replied behind them.
"Shit." Virgil said looking up. "Hi dad."
